because my frog loves it thats what theyre here for. their life revolves around killing things to survive.

It’s you who likes to see it happen which is fine but don’t be offended if others label it as cruel since it’s not needed for the creatures survival and you even stated above that it was you who loved the thought of a bug “brutally” killing a mouse. Just watch it “brutally” kill a roach or cricket.

no my friend relax. yes they need to hunt dont feed them fruit lol, no im a adult i do adult things, i wouldnt recomend feeding mice to your giant centipedes but i do feed live mice to my frog which is quick and mostly humane. i dont label anything just a lack of misunderstanding.

What does you being an adult have to do with anything? They indeed can and do eat fruit. It is known to be beneficial to some degree for them. In the wild scolopendra heros has been seen eating prickley pear fruit.

Look it up and explain how we’ve all got it wrong.
As for your frog you can’t really use that as a fair example as they enjoy eating everything even a dudes finger. Some where on YouTube a pixie went after a dudes finger and it was pretty bloody.

enlighten us then. from what i’ve seen, you’ve denied any fact that portrays centipedes as anything other than thoughtless killing machines. You yourself have said that your previous pedes made you “nervous”. Do you not think it would be beneficial to both yourself and your (future) animals if you took the time to see them as more than just something that kills stuff a lot? I’m in no way denying the prowess of centipedes as predators, but that should be taken into account with everything else about them that makes them the wonderful iverts we know and love. As for your frog, if it’s the one in your profile pic, which i assume it is, i’ll bet fair money it would take a prekilled mouse. C’mon man, it’s a pixie frog. They eat anything.
